The Battle of the House of Reckoning is an engagement in the Installation 07 conflict involving the Master Chief storming the Banished base known as the House of Reckoning to rescue Fernando Esparza. It resulted in the death of War Chief Escharum who was the leader of the Banished at the time.

Background

Following the revelation of the Master Chief's survival, the Banished War Chief Escharum was invigorated and he ordered Blademaster Jega 'Rdomnai to follow the legendary Spartan.[1] After the Master Chief destroyed three Banished anti-aircraft cannons, the terminally ill Escharum ordered 'Rdomnai to bring the Spartan to him.[2]

When the Master Chief and the Weapon succeeded in deactivating the Reformation Spires and stopping the Reformation, 'Rdomnai revealed himself where he had been hiding in Echo 216 and successfully hijacked the Pelican, taking its pilot Fernando Esparza prisoner. Using a portal, the Master Chief and the Weapon gave chase.[3] 'Rdomnai brought Esparza before Escharum at the House of Reckoning, knowing that the kidnapping of his friend would draw the Master Chief directly to them. Pleased, Escharum ordered 'Rdomnai to torture Esparza, but not to kill him.[4]

As the Master Chief and the Weapon attempted to find their way through the Repository to the Banished base, the AI uncovered a message left behind by Escharum where he taunted the Spartan with a recording of Esparza being tortured and claimed that the Master Chief's humanity, such as his compassion for Esparza, made him weak in comparison to the Banished. Escharum promised that he awaited their final fight and the Weapon discovered that the Banished War Chief had embedded his coordinates in the message so as to make it easier for his foe.[4]
